Πού το πάνε το παιδίχελιδόνι σε κλουβίπού το πάνε το παιδίκαι κανείς δεν το 'χει δει.Πού το παν το παλληκάρικάθε νύχτα με φεγγάρι.Πού το πάνε τι του λένεκαι τ' αδέρφια του το κλαίνε.
Με κοιτάνε κάθε αυγήκαι τα μάτια τους πληγή.Με κοιτάνε κάθε αυγήκαι τα λόγια τους κραυγή.Με κοιτάνε με κοιτάνεκαι τα μαύρα τους φοράνε.κι ένας παραπέρα στέκεικαι κρατάει αστροπελέκι.
Στης ψυχής μου τον καθρέφτηίσκιος άρχισε να πέφτει.Ίδια η μοίρα που με φέρνειίδια η μοίρα που με παίρνει.
